This simple method was developed for designers who want to take their existing knowledge into a 3D world, making it accessible even to people without 3D modelling knowledge.

The software also provides an integrated 3D model viewer. The software supports raster images in the following formats: Starting in 2D or 3D, users can modify a flat pattern using the powerful tools provided, and then refold the model to ensure that the final solution is exactly what is required.

Sheet metal features, such as flanges, tabs, corner tears and punching, can all be added in 2D, either explicitly, or as defaults.

A powerful bend allowance tool allows you to correct your geometry or specify your own algorithm for bend allowance.

It allows construction lines to be automatically inferred between points created, and displays them dynamically as the cursor moves inside the drawing area.

Users can automatically snap to existing segment points, determine grid step length and angles for subsequent points, determine incremental angles relative to the last line and easily extend existing geometry.

SMART Edit deduces your intent from the geometry as a whole, taking into consideration dependent relationships between elements, and giving users a visual pointer as to how a change will affect their geometry.

Near them their sisters three, the Gorgons, winged With snakes for hair— hatred of mortal man—. While ancient Greek vase-painters and relief carvers imagined Medusa and her sisters as having monstrous form, sculptors and vase-painters of the fifth century began to envisage her as being beautiful as well as terrifying.

In an ode written in BC Pindar already speaks of "fair-cheeked Medusa". In a late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid Metamorphoses 4.

In most versions of the story, she was beheaded by the hero Perseus , who was sent to fetch her head by King Polydectes of Seriphus because Polydectes wanted to marry his mother.

The gods were well aware of this, and Perseus received help. Since Medusa was the only one of the three Gorgons who was mortal, Perseus was able to slay her while looking at the reflection from the mirrored shield he received from Athena.

During that time, Medusa was pregnant by Poseidon. When Perseus beheaded her, Pegasus , a winged horse, and Chrysaor , a giant wielding a golden sword, sprang from her body.

Jane Ellen Harrison argues that "her potency only begins when her head is severed, and that potency resides in the head; she is in a word a mask with a body later appended In the Odyssey xi, Homer does not specifically mention the Gorgon Medusa:.

According to Ovid , in northwest Africa, Perseus flew past the Titan Atlas , who stood holding the sky aloft, and transformed him into stone when he tried to attack him.

Furthermore, the poisonous vipers of the Sahara , in the Argonautica 4. The blood of Medusa also spawned the Amphisbaena a horned dragon-like creature with a snake-headed tail.

Perseus then flew to Seriphos, where his mother was being forced into marriage with the king, Polydectes, who was turned into stone by the head.

Some classical references refer to three Gorgons; Harrison considered that the tripling of Medusa into a trio of sisters was a secondary feature in the myth:.

The triple form is not primitive, it is merely an instance of a general tendency The two unslain sisters are mere appendages due to custom; the real Gorgon is Medusa.

A number of early classics scholars interpreted the myth of the Medusa as a quasi-historical — "based on or reconstructed from an event, custom, style, etc.

That is to say, there occurred in the early thirteenth century B. The terror of Medusa is thus a terror of castration that is linked to the sight of something.

Numerous analyses have made us familiar with the occasion for this: There are no recorded instances of Medusa turning a woman to stone.

Archetypal literary criticism continues to find psychoanalysis useful. Unlocking Its Secrets, Claiming Its Power by Mary Valentis and Anne Devane notes that "When we asked women what female rage looks like to them, it was always Medusa, the snaky-haired monster of myth, who came to mind A Journal of Liberation in their issue one, volume six for The cover featured the image of the Gorgon Medusa by Froggi Lupton, which the editors on the inside cover explained "can be a map to guide us through our terrors, through the depths of our anger into the sources of our power as women.

In issue three, Fall for the magazine Woman of Power an article called Gorgons: Its purpose was to act as a guardian for female power, keeping the book solely in the hands of women.

Stephen Wilk, author of Medusa: He believes that one reason for her longevity may be her role as a protector, fearsome and enraged.

Even in contemporary pop culture, Medusa has become largely synonymous with feminine rage. Through many of her iterations, Medusa pushes back against a story that seeks to place the male, Perseus, at its center, blameless and heroic.

A story of victim blaming, one that she says sounds all too familiar in a current American context. She has lost Black Bolt and fears the emotional loss of her son, Ahura.

She is the acting ruler and Queen of the Inhumans. Many of her remaining friends and allies have mutated due to the incidents on Earth.

As a way to tie together some of the powerful factions remaining on Earth, Captain Britain proposes to her.

In this universe Galactus is worshipped, and the Royal Council pay reverence to him and his team of heralds in the form of finely crafted statues throughout Attilan.

Medusa appears in the Marvel miniseries: She has snakes for hair and must also wear a veil, to prevent her gaze turning men to stone. She appears to be a native French speaker hence, "Madame" Medusa.

They battle in the heart of Washington D. Dracula easily slays the entire group. In Marvel Zombies 3 2 she along with the Inhuman Royal Family are shown to be zombies have visited a zombie Kingpin to ask for food which they get.

She is still the queen of the Inhumans and wife to their leader, Black Bolt. As with her namesake , in this universe her skin is green in color and she has actual snakes for hair.

It is not stated whether her newly serpentine hair restricts or enhances her abilities in any way. Unlike other versions, Ultimate Medusa is against all associations with the Fantastic Four and believes that the two races of Inhumans and humans can never co-mingle in peace.
